Unpopular Opinions
Who has a UO to share?
Re: Unpopular Opinions
If you believe something, you had best either have evidence or a faith based argument to back it up. If you don't, chances are I think you're a moron and can rip your belief into confetti sized shreds with points to the contrary.
Stand up for something you believe in.

Call me old fashioned, but I think it's really inappropriate to discuss religion, politics, or money at work if those things are unrelated to your profession. I have been cornered more than once, by more than one person, regarding my political affliation and even though I can fully back up my position, it still makes me uncomfortable.
I thought the same thing. I just sat here wondering if I had been confused all along.

ok, good. It's not just me.
Fixed it. Better?
To women in business- Please don't hold other women back just because you were thrown through the ringer 20 years ago. We are all making progress and in some industries (grocery being one) men still dominate. It sucks, but its the truth. Getting held back because people want me to experience what they did is not only not fair but crappy.
To mothers who judge how I raise my child (not on here) - its my life, my child and she is doing just fine. Leave us alone.
JFC, y'all. This is not the kind of debate I was after!
I can't not stand people who try and push religion on me. Don't judge me because I don't go to church on a regular basis or because I can't recite the bible from memory. Don't tell me that my life may have been different if I had "let God in". If you don't like or agree with my lifestyle, then stay the hell out of it.
Huh, this could probably go for the FFC post too.

Do you feel this way regarding marriage counseling as well?
updated 10.03.12
I feel slighly differently. If you've made the commitment to get married and be together for your entire life there's a chance you could need to work through some stuff at some point. If you're dating someone and there's no ring and there's not a lot of reason to stay I think it isn't worth it.
I'm not talking about relationship counseling though, I'm talking about individual counseling. You shouldn't base your happiness so much on someone else that when they behave badly to you it affects your feelings of self worth and your self esteem.

Or...just because they didn't go to therapy before, doesn't mean they didn't need to go the therapy. Sometimes, people's effect on you (whether good or bad) help you realize things about yourself or how you deal with things that should be addressed. If they're staying with someone who "sucks" there's more going on in their head which can be helped by...going to therapy. It's doesn't need to be a bad word.
Yeah, but these aren't people who needed to go to therapy or who were even unhappy in the past. Sure you can need to work on the way you address things, but when your problems are "I feel stupid for liking Hunger Games because we make plans to see the movie and then my boyfriend ridicules the series for a week and tells me how stupid it is, then drinks and then doesn't want to go to the movie when the time comes, I feel like I need to like different things so we can enjoy them together" but then sits through all of his crap- that isn't a person being happy or working towards a place of happiness, that is giving up who you are in favor of trying to make a relationship work.
Again, happy person first, successful relationship later. If you relationship drives you into therapy because it makes you feel like something is wrong with you when you just want to share activities you enjoy, chances are, you need to break up with the ***.

I agree completely. I irritates me when I see those on the bump who have badges that say "I had a natural birth" or whatever. Whoopee. I feel like they feel they are better than those who didn't, or couldn't.
Amen, sister!
When my half-caff coffee kicks in, I'll hopefully have more to contribute, but that is all I can muster at this point.
